Pix'n Love Publishing
I know many people love reading about the history of videogames. French publisher Pix'n Love is now releasing its books in English, starting with The History of Nintendo vol. 1 (covering the pre-console era, including toys and Pong units). Upcoming releases are The History of Nintendo vol. 2 (covering the Game and Watch) and the biography of Takahashi Meijin (which was originally published in Japanese).
I own both books in the History of Nintendo series (vol. 3, about the NES and Famicom, is slated for a French release in April, and the entire series is supposed to consist in seven volumes, no less!), and they're worth every penny, even at $30 apiece (shipping included). They're well documented and richly illustrated, on glossy full-color paper.
The Takahashi Meijin book is entertaining too (I read it only a couple of weeks ago), although it's maybe more for the Hudson fan.
Anyway, if anyone is interested, they're available here: http://pixnlovepublishing.com/topic/index.html
